This is a hardware compatibility list for portable computers. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying a portable computer. Don't forget to add how you got OSx86 running on your portable x86 computer, and to use proper English. Please see the discussion page for proper instructions on how to input your system specs. Also, please contribute to the HCL 10.7.1 page, which should list a more granular view of compatibility. If your computer isn't listed, you should try it if you have a SSE2 or higher processor. Use vanilla kernel if it is supported.

ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.

Install Method (Later upgraded to 10.7.1 with no problem): Apporx. used http://geeknizer.com/install-mac-os-lion-10-7-on-pc-hackintosh/ and if you are installing in MBR partition, you need to find modified OSI Install package. I used Chameleon as a boot loader instead of iBoot. Again, I roughly followed this guide as I gained expertise after installing it more than 5 times :D

Bootloader: Chameleon (installed with version 755 but now using Chameleon-2.1svn-r1446 (also tested 1565) and it helped my graphics card working)

Other: DSDT is required for a good bit. I extracted DSDT from my Win 7 and Mald0n helped me to fix errors (Thanks Mald0n).

Remember to back up once you have running Lion so you don't ruin it after some changes. I used Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes image of your system and in the event of any mishap you can clone the image within no time.

Internal and external mic working after using modified Voodoo from here. Modified Voodoo for alc272 sound card. NOTE: Do not forget to copy the VoodooHDA.kext (included in the download) to S/L/E using kext installer after installing 'VoodooHDA-2.7.2.pkg' (also included in the download) otherwise you will get kernel panic (I got one).

Installed on a MBR boot partition as I already had Win 7. I used modified OSI Insall package for MBR to be able to install under MBR. I did clean install using USB drive. I made install package in one USB thumb drive and installed Chameleon boot loader in another USB drive. After installation, it did not detected my keyboard and touchpad so I had to use a usb mouse and followed this tutorial to make my keyboard work.Fix you keyboard if it is not detected

Instalation method: (First of all, sorry for my bad english, im from argentina)
I use the rBoot for booting....lol, dont remember if the normal or the laptop edition, try whit bouth. Then i install the Iatkos L1 (Lion 10.7.1).Then i install some kexts, and then i download the combo updater (10.7.3) i installit, remove the AppleHDA kext, and then reboot. Works very fine!

Other: Use Multibeast for Easy Beast install and Macbook pro 8,1 definition. 8 cores recognition. Use DSDT autopatcher (and copy DSDT created file in /Extra). Working without DSDT with different performance.
